In July, FEDS Protection President & Founder Tony Vergnetti was fortunate enough to join host Alex Tremble on The Alex Tremble Show to discuss the professional exposures of federal supervisors and how Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) can help protect against these liabilities. Mr. Vergnetti was joined in the episode, “How Federal Supervisors Can Protect Themselves in Today’s Political Environment,” by Brenda Wilson, FEDS Protection Director of Marketing, Strategy, and Business Development.

Every federal employee has some level of liability exposure, but federal managers may be at a greater risk than they realize. Even if the allegations are ultimately proven untrue, the cost of defending against an adverse administrative action, disciplinary proceeding, or civil lawsuit can be devastating. However, Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) from FEDS Protection is available to help protect federal managers and supervisors when the unexpected happens.

Federal managers asked, and we listened—FEDS Protection is excited to announce that we have added a $3 million civil liability coverage option to our professional liability insurance (PLI) program, extending civil liability coverage available for federal employees beyond the existing $1 million and $2 million policies.

As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread across the United States, the federal government is instituting safety policies and imposing non-compliance-based discipline on its employees. For instance, as we have previously detailed, the Biden administration established a mask mandate across the federal government. Federal managers have now been tasked with enforcing these new safety protocols, including the mask mandate. Implementing these new practices have created unusual difficulties for federal managers.

For 14 years, Federal Employee Defense Services has provided professional liability insurance (PLI) for federal managers and has been a proud advocate for the federal community. Now, FEDS is expanding its ability to offer even more support to federal employees, including managers, through its acquisition by CRC Group, a leading national wholesale distributor of specialty insurance products. This timely partnership will enable FEDS to expand coverage options for public employees and contractors.
